Just a couple more things as I continue to research the Treo 650. One, I found a fun little simulation called Village Sim. It runs 24/7 whether or not your machine is on. Make sure to run the tutorial - it's one of those that gets you started in a real game with advice as you go along. This is very well done.
I haven't played a game like this even though I have played Sim City, Civilization and Warcraft and they have some slight resemblance. I found it via my other rediscovery of Pocket Goddess. She reviewed Village Sim and on that basis alone, I bought the game. My only Treo game at the moment. I'm usually too busy blogging and surfing and what not - which I enjoy a lot - to play games, but Pocket Goddess lured me.
Then somehow, I found myself over at Pocket Goddess and noticed that she does quite a few features, interviews and reviews. I'm very impressed. This is encouraging. I'm back to ferreting out and reading good stuff about Palms and Treos at the moment.
And, after an hour or so playing Village Sim (sometimes letting it play and sometimes intervening), my progress is so-so. I lost my best guy when he saw a face at the edge of the forest and I had the choice for him to investigate or back away. Investigation proved fatal! Other than that, I've managed to get one couple to have a baby. That was fun.
One last little warning about Village Sim. If your eyesight isn't too good, you may have trouble. There's a lot of little stuff on the screen. I pulled out a magnifying glass to help me out and that actually worked well. Thick reading glasses might work too.
Anyway, that's how the evening of Saturday, July 2nd is going. I just moved my big green leather recliner and ottoman into my home office along with a couple of bookcases. I decided that now that I'm mainly using my Powerbook, I don't need two desks in my office. So the desk is gone and I've kind of created a home library -- something I've always wanted.
That's it for now. I'll be reporting further on the Treo soon.
